Mahler’s Symphonic Farewell: Symphony No. 9
January 24-26, 2014
Helzberg Hall | Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts
No composer brings more beauty, humanity, and power to a symphony than Gustav Mahler. Being the last complete symphony he wrote, this music is a stunning affirmation of life coupled with Mahler’s resignation of his own mortality. It is both paralyzing and profound. Michael Stern and the musicians bring their own passion and humanity to what was possibly Mahler’s greatest work. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear what legendary conductor Herbert von Karajan described as “music coming from another world… coming from eternity.” Ovation & Masterworks Series
